Brandon Ingram had one of the worst shooting nights of his career and Zion Williamson saw his 13-game streak of 20+ points end, but the New Orleans Pelicans were still able to get a win behind strong play from their guards.
Having lost three in a row and watching their playoff hopes slip away, the Pelicans were desperate for a victory on a night when they had a chance to gain ground on three of the teams they are chasing.
The San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies and Portland Trail Blazers all lost, so the New Orleans Pelicans’ win put them just four back of the Grizzlies for the eight seed.
